A King OF the Gilbert Islands.

A mater mariner who makes periodi-
cal trips to the Gilbert Islands, and who
recently arrived in port, says that there
are several Kings down there. One OF
them is TimbanOka, who rules over three
islands -Kurea, Arenuka and Apanana.
Timbanoka is very large mamie must

regular despot He has thirty wives,
and has several times had them all down
on board the vessel They are almost all
young, but very homely. They have very
long hair and regular features. The
oh ef treats them well, and often takes
them in lot on board a trading schooner
and buys for them anything that takes
their fancy. He lines in so-called
''palace' made of cocoanut trees,
matched with palm leaves, and he has it
furnished with chairs, lounges, pictures,
cutlery, crockeryware, etc, imported
from this city. He is very fond of
champagne, and always has good sup
ply Of that and other wines on hand and
quaint ties of canned meats and fruits.

ers that takes his fancy. lie has num-

dressed in a handsome silk gown, look

had on a full Animals uniform, with
sword, epaulette' and cooked hat. Any
vessel entering the harbors must take a
pilot and pay the pi.otagc $50 to him.
A pilot is not needed, and the practice is
not in vogue on any other Island. Tim
banoka has charge Of all the business OF
the tire. islands. The natives bring all
their copra to him, and he gives them
what he thinks proper in exchange from
his storchousc and then he trades with the
trading vessels. He Will not allow a
